Wiggles, the Children's Python

[Homebody]

What a stark color difference! My boy (or girl) looks very different depending on the light.

Also, a funny thing happened last night. When I went to put him back in his enclosure, he wouldn't let go of my hand. Usually, he's eager to escape my grasp, but not last night. At first, I thought he was holding on because he was afraid of falling. So, I rested my hand on the floor of his enclosure and waited for him to let go, but he wouldn't do it. Then, I thought, maybe he's just not ready to go back. Maybe, he's starting to enjoy handling a bit, but then, I noticed that he was holding on awful tight. Suddenly, it dawned on me that that he was constricting me, and that he wouldn't let go until my heart stopped beating. So, I peeled him off as gently as I could. Silly snek. Won't eat his reptilinks, but, my hand, that he'll eat.
